The angle bisector theorem is a formula having to do with a triangle split in half by a line bisecting (halving) one of its interior angles and cutting the opposite side. This formula is the relationship between the line segments created by the angle bisector line and the other two sides.
Which of these statements is true?
Above is a random triangle above with an angle bisector splitting in half. This procedure creates two triangles, and . By the Angle Bisector Theorem, the ratio of side to segment is the same ratio as side to segment .
If side is , is , and is , how long is segment ?
Good luck with the Angle Bisector Theorem!
